Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
How our Mexican catering works in Cowley
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It works well for retirement and leaving parties and family celebrations, serving quesadillas, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In and around Cowley, gardens and local halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Prices and what affects them
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we are serving
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d park
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What you’d like on the menu
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Comparing your options
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests

Who books Mexican catering in Cowley?
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and people drift over as soon as service starts.
These are some of the occasions we serve:
- Birthday parties
- Office lunches and team days
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Retirement and leaving parties
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Our Lady's Roman Catholic Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.
What to look for in a quote
- How late numbers can change
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- Travel and parking costs
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Catering an event in Cowley
Cowley is about 1 mile south-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Cowley and nearby villages. We serve in 443 places in Oxfordshire.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Luke, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. A gathering in South Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.

Questions from Cowley
Is it possible to have you in South Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Which station should guests use for Cowley?
Oxford station, about 2.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
What are your prices?
We quote for each event, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
Do you serve in the rain?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Where the truck can go in Cowley
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
